Fraud email example:
From: "Mandla Goliko" <mandlago1@excite.com>
Date: Sat, 15 Oct 2005 16:06:21 -1200
Subject: From Mandla
Dear Sir/Madam,
It is with great honour and previledge that i was able to
capture your
contact from the internet.My Name is Mr. Mandla Kwame
Goliko, a citizen of South Africa and a credit officer of
the
Lloyds TSB Group plc
Uk.Before the U.S and Iraqi war our Customer Mr. Louis
Campher who is a
national of your
country and who (in this case I am his accounting officer)
was with the
Omega Risk Solutions in Iraq and also an Oil
consultant/contractor with
the South African Institute of Mining and Metallurgy made
a numbered fixed
deposit for 18 calendar months with our bank valued at
US$43,000,000.00,(Fourty-Three Million United state
Dollars).
Upon maturity several notice was sent to him, even during
the war,and
also a reminder and finally we discovered from his contract
employers that Mr
Louis Campher was killed in an attack on their convey while
travelling from one
construction site to another during the USA-Iraqi War.
The board of directors of my bank adopted a resolution,and
as the accounting officer to Mr. Louis Campher I was
mandated to provide his
next of kin for the payment of this money within 28 working
daysor forfeit
the money to
the bank as an abandoned property.Further investigations
revealed
that Mr. Louis Campher did not declare any next of kin in
his official
papers including the
paper work of his bank deposit. And he also confided in me
the last time he
was at my office that no one except me knew of his deposit
in
my bank.
So,Fourty-Three Million United state Dollars is still lying
in my bank,and no one will ever come forward to claim it.
What
bothers memost
is that The Directors of my bank had planned to invoke
the abandoned
property decree of 1996 to confiscate the funds after
theexpiration of the
period given to
me,Despairing at the point of exhaustiveness but
fortunately,
I came across your name. My suggestion to you is that I will
like you to
stand as the next of kin to Mr.Louis Campher so that you
will be able to receive this funds.
However,I seek your consent to present you as the Next of
Kin to the
Deceased.I
have contacted an attorney that will prepare the necessary
document that
will back you up as the next of kin to Mr.Louis Campher.All
I require
is your honest cooperation to enable us see this deal
through.
I guarantee that this will be executed under a legitimate
arrangement that
will protect you from any breach of law.Be Informed also
that we shall share the
funds in the ratio 50% for me and 45% for you, while 5%
should be for Expenses or Tax as your Government may
require.
Please endeavor to observe utmost
discretion in all matters concerning this issue.
I will bring you into a more detailed picture of this
transaction when I hear from you.
Your earliest response to this letter will be appreciated

Regards,
Mandla
